Dyma'ch cyfle chi i gamu mewn i Gastell Dinefwr yn yr Iard Dderw | Your chance to play in Dinefwr Castle without stepping out of the Oak Yard at Dinefwr.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

There's something special coming to the Oak Yard this summer - Dinefwr Castle is being re-created as a play space for all.

Think towers of cardboard boxes, imaginary fire breathing dragons, and a space that encourages the imagination to run wild. Create your own rooms to discover, turn a big box in to a royal costume, or make a fort as high as you can!

Cardboard Castle is a play space designed for children and their families to enjoy. It is located in the Old Kitchen, accessed from the Oak Yard.
